A combination of side by side whisky / bourbon / whiskey comparison blog posts. A look at all the most popular whiskies and how they rate next to their rivals. From bourbons and Scottish whisky to blends and single malts. A broad collection of comparisons I have tried.
A bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label is rarely absent from my whisky shelf. It’s one of those dependable drams that I find myself reaching for during the week after a long day. Come the weekend, however, things change. That’s when you’ll usually find me pouring a glass of Johnnie Walker Double Black.

The sweeter profile, rich vanilla notes, and toasted oak character immediately appealed to my palate, opening the door to a whole new category of whiskey.
While looking around my whisky room recently, I found myself in the mood for an uncomplicated side-by-side comparison. No sherry bombs, no peat monsters, just two classic blended Scotch whiskies going head-to-head. Since both are widely available here in Mauritius, I poured a dram of Dewar’s White Label and The Famous Grouse to see which affordable blend comes out on top in this Dewar’s White Label vs The Famous Grouse comparison.
